And next up, the young turf fillies… Post Horse Jockey Trainer ML Odds 1. My Gi Gi Rafael Bejarano Brian J. Koriner 20-1 Regally-bred filly did not show much last time, but has flashed talent in the past. 2. Dayatthespa Ramon Domniguez Chad C. Brown 12-1 Has a win and a second so far. 3. […] Yes, it’s that time again – each Breeders’ Cup race, handicapped for your amusement/edification. First up, the fleet-footed two-year olds. Post Horse Jockey Trainer ML Odds 1. Seeker Julien Leparoux Steven M. Asmussen 4-1 I love that he’s by Hard Spun and has always been in the money (granted, in only three starts). I’ve also […] Chris Antley was the first jockey I had a crush on. It would, perhaps, be more accurate to say Chris Antley was the only jockey I ever had a crush on, but that probably goes without saying. But he was young (although older than we were, which made him interesting), blond and got to ride […] In a season lacking a standout 3-year-old, and with stalwart Gio Ponti not having found his best form, Havre de Grace and Blind Luck have been making their own headlines. Both fillies have stellar resumes in their own rights: Blind Luck’s many wins include the Kentucky Oaks, the Alabama, the Vanity and the Del Cap, […] After something of a lackluster summer so far for American horse racing (the stalwart efforts of Blind Luck, Havre de Grace and, occasionally, their jockey cams excepted), things are finally moving in an interesting direction. No, not the announcement that the Breeders’ Cup is going back to Santa Anita – that seemed something of a […] While there is no Triple Crown on the line, this is one of the more interesting renewals of my favorite Classic. It’s notable this year for having more than one horse in the field who is actually bred to go the 1 ½ mile distance; in some recent Belmonts, the race seems to have fallen […] Another year, another No Triple Crown. But that is not to say that this year’s Triple Crown season has not been far more interesting than one might have predicted just a few weeks ago – indeed, the possibilities for some of this year’s crop of three-year-olds going forward is actually quite intriguing (which is more […] Preakness day is fast approaching, with the usual focus on the Derby winner and his connections, although we have so far been spared the Second Coming of Secretariat talk that occasionally pops up after a particularly emphatic Derby win – no doubt the strength (or lack thereof) of this year’s field contributes to that, though […] Our Kentucky Derby party was held on a horse farm, as is right and proper; the group’s main rooting interests were Animal Kingdom and Pants on Fire. Prior to the main races, we repaired to the mare-and-foal barn to have a look at this year’s crop – all fillies. We spent extra time scratching the […] Perhaps more than most years, this season’s Derby preps have demonstrated just how hard it is to get to the big race, regardless of how much time and money you’re willing to throw at it.  The Curse of the Wood Memorial (or Twitter – take your pick) has claimed Uncle Mo, although given the […] |
